You don’t have to be able to pronounce korhogofefemougou to appreciate succulent steak marinated in Ivory Coast spices—just one of the twists on bargain-bistro classics at this Lower East Side lair with a French-colonial feel. Duet of duck pairs a meaty breast with shredded confit. Muqueca, the Brazilian seafood-coconut-milk stew, is loaded with plump shrimp and served with a steaming bowl of white rice. Tropical-tasting cocktails are well balanced and perfectly refreshing, and an unobtrusive D.J. plays captivating world music at neighbor-friendly decibels.

Excellent place. We reserved a table for 8 and showed up 30 min late with an extra person. They held our table and accommodated the extra guest. The food was great, and the DJ played music interesting enough for us to pull out the iPhones and Shazam the tunes.
Nothing Beats Les Enfants

The sad thing about these reviews is that most of the time people only leave comments for a bad experience or negative feelings. After curiously searching on NY Mag to see what people had to say about my favorite institution in all of New York- I took the effort to create an account just to leave a review and tell everyone who cares to read this that Les Enfants is hands down the most special and fantastic place I have ever been to. The food is great, the staff is so perfectly French and lovely and the atmosphere is unique. It creates that certain je ne sais quoi ;-) that leaves you dying to come back. I bring as many people as I can here and inevitably they all fall in love with this place as much as I do. If your looking for a 5 star dining experience then go to Per Se... although I am sure after wards you will want to stop at Les Enfants for a gin tonic....
